“Sands make the mountain,
moments make the year, and
trlhea, life.” Edward Young.
Community Chest Fund In Sight of ’64 Goal
Somehow "or other the coffee
break chatter drifted around to
food and crowds and Thanks-
giving, and Lou Bradley started
doing a little mental arithmetic
and announced that she and
Scott had 24 at home for the
Thanksgiving dinner, count-
ing children, grandchildren, and
each other. That comes danger-
ously close to being half a hun-
dred feet under the table, and
would have made it and also
been a hundred percent present
had not son-in-law Wilbur Jur-
ney spent Thanksgiving day he-
roically fighting t h e dryland
Purves peanuts on the Turney
farm, along with three other
fellows who don't observe holi-
days either. Had we realized
what Wilbur’s sacrifice was do-
ing to the Bradley tabulations
we would have gladly dropped
our cheese sandwiches and sup-
plied feet numbers 49 and 50
under the table, but we could
never have pulled it off without
the cigar. Wilbur, like Winston
Churchill, wouldn’t even look na-
tural in stone without the cigar.
Bradley noses included were
Billy, Bobby and Terry; Jerry,
Wanda. Karen, Kay and Janet
from Rockwall; Dean, Ruth
Ann, D’Ann and Kelly; Wyette,
Dortha, Mike and Donnie Jur-
ney; Peggy and Sue without
Wilbur; and Russell, Betty Sue,
Scottie and Sandy Hayes. It
would have been a good party
to crash.
If anybody over-ate it had no
lasting ill effects on all of them,
because Betty Sue left the din-
ner table and went on her first
deer hunt and 4?^ her first
deer. She was much too excited
to heed any talk about this be-
ing a good way to lay in the
winter meat supply. She Is plan-
ning to have it stuffed and open
a wild game museum. Other
family acquisitions were com-
pletely overshadowed by Billy’s
newly designated Gold Medal
Holstein, Burke Montvic Bee.
We don’t know if the "Bee’’
stands for “better" “butter’ or
“Bradley,” but we do know that
this lady Bee is more pampered
than most human type females.
More profitable too, no doubt.
Ray Franks got in a word too
about food, being unable to sup-
press amusement over some-
thing in the morning paper to
the effect that the way to eat
less is to eat slowly,especially
in a large family. Ray had four
sisters and seven brothers and
a quarter of a hundred feet un-
der the table was a three-times-
a-day regularity in their house-
hold.
Uncle Buck Hallmark is prob-
ably glad he doesn't have a
dozen children when Christmas
rolls around. Traditionally, he
sends The Dublin Progress to
each of his children every year,
Mrs. Bob Fisher in Anaheim,
Calif-, Mrs. Truman Cline in
Pam pa and W. P. Hallmark Jr.
in Corpus Christi, plus a few
good friends, and as they all
live out of town that raises the
ante.
E- E. Belyeu was signing a
check for a gift subscription at
the end of a long hard clay of
Christmas shopping, and when
we apologized for handing him
a red pen to tigrf with he said
after many more days of shop-
ping, red would be the right
color anyway.
And speaking of apologies,
Anabelle Parnell is getting an
extra special, personalized
Christmas present for your*
truly — it’s a little placard that
fits across the back of most any
garment and says very neatly
and to the point, "I’m sorry!"
Hereinafter when Roy Parnell
and Roy Yantls get after me
for one of my sins of omission
or commission I won’t have to
say a word — Just turn around!
Obviously, this is not the ideal
solution for the average hard-
to-please person on your gift
list. Most people don't make
mistakes.

S. Bradley, Top-O-Tex Farm,

The local veterinarian advises
the people of Dublin to be al-
erted to the possible dangers of
other rabid animals in the vi-
cinity, as this Is the season of
the year when the highest inci-
dence of rabies is likely to oc-
cur. Household pets should be
penned at night, and careful
supervision of their where-
abouts during the daytime hours
should be made-
Many dogs and pets in the Dub-
lin area received anti-rabies in-
noculations during the summer
vacation campaign and are thus
protected against any possible
epidemic. Rabies vaccine is
available ’for pets which have
not been lnnoculated.
Any suspect animal should be
reported to the city officials im
mediately. Meanwhile, citizens
should be alerted to the pos-
sibility of further incidence of
rabies in this area.
